Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer (1v4) horror game where players take roles of a Killer and survivors. One player controls the Killer as he hunts down four survivors who are also controlled by real players. The survivors need to escape the killing grounds as the Killer lays traps in order to sacrifice them to some sort of dark murder god. The weaker survivors need to work together and outfox the Killer much like they do in most of your favorite slasher flicks. Survivors and Killers have their own progressive system that unlocks new skills and abilities. The maps themselves are procedurally generated so the levels are never same twice.

The maps themselves are procedurally generated so the killing grounds are never same twice and add a level of tension and unpredictability in every encounter.
